BEST THING ABOUT
HUDDERSFIELD
The best thing about
Huddersfield is its scenery. It
is evident why Huddersfield is
known for the “Three Peaks”,
as the surrounding countryside
views are incredible. I usually
hate catching the bus and even
walking can be tedious in a busy
city, but now I go out of my way
because the countryside it is
breathtaking and you don’t have
to go off the beaten track or buy any
special footwear to enjoy it.
ACCOMMODATION
HUDDERSFIELD
Huddersfield is a student-friendly place
to live - whether you are situated in
town or slightly outside, everything is
at your feet; and with a Lidl and many
Poundlands close by, it is easy to keep
within that student budget. Huddersfield’s
average weekly rental prices are very
reasonable, at £77 in 2013, just below the
UK average of £79.42.
Now, you may think that as Huddersfield
is a town rather than a city, student life
could be quite boring; this
was certainly my concern.
However, you will be quite
mistaken. Students know
how to party in Huddersfield
and you will have many
laughs during your years
here. Living in the city
centre is a popular choice,
as it’s centrally located
to everything you could
possibly need. With a 60%
satisfaction rate, it’s highly
rated, although the higher

rental rates of £87 need to be taken into
account.
Rent is slightly cheaper closer to the
University, averaging between £54 and
£66 per week, with a satisfaction rate of
60%; the upside of this is that you can lie
in even when you have lectures!
AFS TOP TIP
Although most accommodation is
situated near the University; even the
properties outside of town have regular
cheap buses running to campus, so
there’s little chance of you missing those
important lectures.
